Tony made an impact by being himself. He changed the lives of those around him and even those he never met. He had so much to share with the world and we were lucky enough to share some of that with him. He will live on in our memories and the actions of those he inspired.
You are missed Tony!

A total loss for the corporate world, he was a brilliant entrepreneur and CEO with a unique vision. May God give his friends and family strength and peace at this sad time. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him.

I didn’t know him directly all I know is I can remember the first day I called Zappos to buy some shoes, isn’t that wild? Why would you ever remember that. I was blown away and not only did I become a loyal customer after that but I started telling all my friends about the very unusual happy experience I had. It was that unusual. They were friendly , it felt like old school shopping when people still had the time to talk to you and we had a laugh . I believe it’s a big deal, every human kindness is a big deal. I have no idea how he managed to create a business were people are nice and helpful and at such a large scale, the man was a genius. RIP.

Friends and family,
The Bible says ... weep with those who weep, and,pray without ceasing; the name a few of its mandates, so, that's what I've been doing here lately, especially ever since my Pa died mid-march' 20; but, it's been a blessing for me to comfort those with the comfort that God has comforted me, beside; I've been praying, interceding with supplication and giving of thanks for all in the land of the living, humbly ~sisteregina k.
